I ran an ID program to see what chips are on my M/B

 

looks like all intel chips so is it a intel M/B ?

CPUX said model MAHOBAY [NO DPK ?]

 

what is [no DPK] ?

anyone know an intel model # as MAHOBAY gets few google hits and no info

 

audio = intel 7 series C210

sata = intel 7 series C210

usb = intel 7 series C210

SMBus = intel 7 series C210

MEI controller #1 = intel 7 series C210

 

only intel but not 7 series C210 chips

82579LM gigabit network controler

82801 PCI bridge

Q75 express chipset LPC controller [iSA bridge] [[[ so is this a intel Q75 M/B ???]]]

xeon E3-1200 2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Cont [Host bridge]

xeon E3-1200 2/3rd gen core processor Graphics C [VGA compatib ..]

 

so what is this M/B [ or similar M/B that I can cope a script]

and what boot loader

kexts needed ?

ad on cards and or what ever else do I need to start with ?

Run Mountain Lion: 10.6 won't support your integrated Intel HD4000. Use your wife's Mac to buy ML from the App Store - buy the app, it will work better and cost you only the price of two Big Mac combos, $20 - and then download Pandora.app here on Insanelymac to make your installer.

 

Good luck!
